The Matthews family made this wonderful donation in 2012. This telescope has been the highlight of many star parties in the Northwest over the years. The staff would go over to Corwin’s camp site and drool over the views in this amazing telescope. The telescope has a 30″ mirror, at f4, with a Starlight Feathertouch focuser, filter wheel, laser pointer, digital setting circles and much more! When the scope arrived here, we set it up in the Glass Starport, and realized it needed a home of it’s own. In 2013, the Karen Clarke Star Deck was constructed, this has allowed the Matthews 30″ scope to have it’s own roll off building. Be sure to come check out the excellent workmanship, and the fantastic views!
